It's not exactly easy to refer to a software project that has neither versions nor changelogs, but Scribus Generator is rather unknown despite of its immense usefulness, so let's not be strict about that.

This script, written for currently officially stable version of Scribus which is 1.3.3.14, does what is usually known as data merge: it finds particular variables in the text frames of a Scribus document and substitutes them with text from CSV files, and then generates PDF files. The typical area of application is creating business cards.

The project's web page has initial information how to install and run the script, but you can also fetch a regular user manual.

If you want it quick, here are the downloading options:

• the script
• the user manual
